A buyer profile is an online section, usually hosted on a contracting authority’s own website or an e‑procurement portal,where all procurement-related information from that authority is openly published. It serves as a central point for transparency, consolidating announcements such as procurement plans, prior information notices, live tenders, award notices, and concluded contracts. In the EU procurement framework, buyer profiles help economic operators and the public monitor opportunities and activities of contracting authorities.
As mandated by EU directives such as Directive 2014/24/EU, using buyer profiles enables authorities to promote consistency and fairness in procurement. These profiles may include essential notices such as contract notices, prior information notices, and award notices, making them visible and accessible to all prospective bidders. Some e‑procurement platforms even allow buyer profile notices to be dispatched directly to the Official Journal of the EU, streamlining procurement administration.
In practice, buyer profiles strengthen market access and procedural clarity. They support forward planning by suppliers, foster trust through transparency, and fulfill regulatory requirements on information dissemination. Despite differing technical implementations across authorities, they remain a vital tool for ensuring accountability in the EU procurement ecosystem.
